The Acacias is a beautiful, rarely available mid-Victorian residence. This impressive four-bedroom family home is surrounded and secluded by thoughtfully designed gardens and the renovated interior is equally stunning. The vendors have tastefully blended modern conveniences with the traditional and elegant era of this period of architecture.

The grand entrance hall features an abundance of period charm such as the original staircase, picture rail, ceiling rose and typically deep skirting boards, panel doors and oak floor, this a good indicator of the continued standard throughout. The two principal reception rooms are currently used as a sitting room with a marble fireplace and French windows, and a formal dining room also with an attractive fireplace and French windows. The solid wood in-frame kitchen with quartz work surface and double inset butler sink, also features a central island with breakfast bar. There is a much-requested pantry, range cooker, American-style fridge/freezer, space for dishwasher and oak floor. Adjoining the kitchen is a south-facing breakfast room with three sash windows overlooking the pretty courtyard garden. The rear lobby features a Victorian-style tiled floor and wood panelling to the walls, access to the garden and ground-floor WC/utility room. Continued into this room is the Victorian-style flooring and panelling, with a modern suite and utilities cupboard. The galleried landing provides access to all four bedrooms and includes a linen cupboard. The main bedroom has two double wardrobes fitted on either side of the cast iron fireplace, a modern en suite with walk-in double shower, hand basin and vanity unit. There are three further generous double bedrooms, the second with a cast iron fireplace and the third with a vaulted ceiling. The family bathroom has been well planned and includes a double tiled shower cubicle and free-standing roll top bath, hand basin and WC.

The double gated access leads into a cottage-style garden which comprises a lawn area, well-stocked borders and a gated entrance providing access to a gravel driveway, with parking for numerous vehicles.

The outstanding garden surrounds all sides of the property and comprises predominately a lawn area, with hedging and mature trees. Adjacent to the rear of the house is a private seating area that has been thoughtfully designed to offer a perfect space for outdoor dining and, during early summer, this garden is filled with the scent of flowering rambling roses. The carefully constructed flower beds are a wonderful mix of colour during the spring and summer. There is a second seating area to the front of a single-storey outbuilding/workshop. With power connected, this versatile space offers a multitude of options, such as conversion to a home office/studio or gym. The pretty side courtyard includes raised veg beds, a greenhouse and a second gated pedestrian access.

Willingham is approximately 12 miles northwest of Cambridge and offers excellent access into Cambridge via the recently expanded and improved A14, which leads onto M11 south and A1 north.

Popular for both cyclist and runners, the guided busway also provides a well-used cycle path parallel to the bus route. This is a direct route into Cambridge and stops at Cambridge North, city centre and Addenbrooke's. With a Tesco superstore, petrol station and precinct of shops in nearby Bar Hill.

The village is well served with facilities including two village stores, three public houses, bakery, butchers and farm shop, doctor's surgery, primary school, post office, antique and new furniture sale hall with tea rooms and an outside eatery which specialises in tapas, and a number of small businesses are located along its bustling High Street.
There is also a recreation ground with football pitches and sports pavilion, a community centre and social club.
The local primary school is located in the village and has recently been rated as 'Good' by Ofsted. The village is in the catchment area for Cottenham Village College and Sixth Form and the recently opened Northstowe Secondary School.

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
